My machine just started skipping stitches while I am free motion quilting. It happens mostly when I am moving the fabric towards me. I don't think it has to do with the speed I move the fabric, as it looks like the bobbin is just not engaged for a stitch.
I have vacuumed and oiled the machine, rethreaded it, wound a new bobbin and changed the needle. Any ideas?
Thank you.
It could easily be a slight adjustment in the upper or lower thread tension. lot of luck, Rollie
Not at all unusual. When free motion quilting and pulling the material towards you, when, and if, and it does deflect the needle the needle would be pulled away from the hook point, causing a skipped stitch.
